I suspect that book learning is only valid for the time control at which it is applied. For example, if I ran a million games at game in one minute with learning turned on, then learning will be valuable for games at that time control or faster. If I tried to use the learning file at 40 moves in 2 hours, I think it would be a big mistake. However, the learning file from one million games at 40/2 would still be good for faster time controls. Just a guess, I have not actually examined any data.
